FALL RIVER — Fifty-four young people from parishes throughout the Fall River Diocese received the Pope Saint Pius X Youth Award from Bishop George W. Coleman during a prayer service on May 6 at St. Mary’s Cathedral.

The annual award, named for the pontiff who created the Fall River Diocese in 1904 and presented for the first time in 2001, recognizes teens who serve their parish community with selflessness, commitment and dedication.

Nominated for the honor by their pastors, recipients are active in a variety of ministries and programs within their parishes. Some are lectors, Eucharistic ministers and teachers in parish religious education programs. Others are altar servers, leaders in youth groups and members of retreat teams.

Pope St. Pius X Youth Award recipients must have already received the sacrament of Confirmation, be at least a sophomore in high school and not older than 19.
